New music collab —
Found this guy on Reddit (I love Reddit) /r/MusicInTheMaking and decided to take a stab at a bass part for it. Feels really good to have *something* to work on with someone. I think I played for about 2 hours. Happy.
Day of Reflection —
I remember my alternative name for this was, “International STFU Day” =p~
Voicemail Greetings are so Obsolete… —
Does anyone really need instructions these days on leaving a voicemail? “Please leave a message after the tone. When you are done, hang up or dial # for more options. Press # to send a fax.” Seriously? Can I just have an option for a BEEP after the last ring finishes? Or, at the least, […]

Brin Addison – Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata (on a 15 string Harp Guitar) —
This is amazing. It reminds me of when my mom used to play this song on the piano – so somber and with so much depth.
Music in my Head —
Sometimes (lately especially) I’ll wake up with a song stuck in my head. It isn’t necessarily a song I’ve listened to recently. Tonight I fell asleep briefly and woke up to a Deftones song stuck in my head. I don’t know how long it’s been (months at least) since I heard the song. But earlier […]
Chris Cornell – Bones of Birds —
Karamu Poutama —
Open your third eye, And cry for the first time, Feel the wonder unwind and medicate your mind, Walk bare feet on the grass, breathe each breath, as if it were your last Look to the future, step with the past, only way you miss it is by walking too fast. Two eyes for lookin’ […]

The Future of Google Glass Style Devices —
I’d like to see Google Glass in a form factor that causes it to be nearly invisible. The big hit to Glass was that it was obvious what it was and what its capabilities were. Google didn’t impress me in the “obviously you’re being recorded, look at this thing on my head” department. All of […]
Carl Jung on Death and Dying —
“Look forward to the next day, as if he had to spend centuries…and then he lives hopefully. But when he is afraid, when he doesn’t look forward, he looks back, it petrifies him. He gets stiff, and he dies before his time. But when he’s living on, looking forward to the great adventure that is […]
Accepting the Mystic Experience —
I must remember this.
Adam West —
I will miss you, Adam (Mayor) West – thank you for all the action, and the laughs too.
Somone hates me on Slashdot —
These days, it seems I can’t comment on any story without losing at least one modpoint. Doesn’t matter the contents, whether it’s a nice, watered-down, etc. comment, or what type of story I’m commenting on, almost instantly I go from 2 points to either 1 or 0. This has been happening for at least 2 […]
Drain the Stale Chi —
Drain the Stale Chi Tingles with the energy Give it to the world Inverse the hurt Breathe in, let it sink in Withdrawal from Mother Earth She keeps me balanced Slowly I gather up Seldom moments become plenty Slowing the mind creates time The perception of reality Is whatever I want it to be Let […]
Makes me feel like… —
Cellphones at Concerts —
You know what would work well for artists that perform at concerts who are annoyed at everyone pointing their cell phones at them? If they (or the venue) professionally recorded each concert in high quality and distributed it to each paying concert-goer. Why have a thousand shitty videos with shitty audio flooding YouTube when you […]
When —
When will we become not a nation of laws, but a nation of morals?
Carpet Ride —
Seems all the ones from When I was young are Leaving Seems that all who sung from The heart soul and lungs aren’t Breathing, Anymore… Is it true That times are gone For honest men? And now even you Won’t sing your songs Again… I’ll try to Keep my head up high Put my sorrows […]
I am the Highway —
I never met you, but for some reason that doesn’t stop the fact that I fucking miss you. I can’t stand all your songs on the radio and all the articles on Facebook. Fuck.
Play to the Drummer —
I feel no dumber It’s a sausage cucumber I’ll take a number You’ll never make it And I can’t fake it Don’t try and take it No I’ll never Play to the drummer Play to the drummer I’m winter to your summer Guess I’m that much dumber I’ll take a number
Dead Letter Feeling —
Ostracizing a pet goat What am I worth today Not much, says the salesman I want to fly away With the fuzzy bass And an electric face Keep it coming, randomly I can’t suppose the supposedly Gimme one more shot man I can do what you want then Fuck this abbreviation I can’t take this […]
Billy Corgan —
Debian Fortune Cookie —
Spray —
You don’t wanna talk No you don’t wanna talk Got your tail between your legs Guess I put you in your place What did I have to do Were you convincing me Or maybe just you And the ones that used to know you, too I get what you want But you’re stuck in a […]
So sick of M$ OS/Product Announcements —
“Windows 10 Cloud”…lol. C’mon Microsoft, really? I guess I’ve just been through enough of these types of project announcements from M$ that I’ve become ‘immune’ to them. At first I’d be interested. “Oh, something new. I wonder what it’s about.” It almost always ends up being some rehash of an old system that sucked. What […]
Gasping for Air —
I feel like I’m suffocating in a sea called America who’s sole purpose is now to strip the very air necessary to sustain life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. How the fuck did I allow this to happen? The Earth is changing, our next generations in jeopardy and our new narcissistic leader is forcing […]

Nothing Changes on New Year’s Day —
Under a blood red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white Arms entwined, the chosen few The newspaper says, says Say it’s true, it’s true And we can break through Though torn in two We can be one
Facebook ugh —
I feel right now that logging into Facebook is largely futile and repeatable. What stems from a login is checking bloated notifications, scrolling through an endless feed of mostly regurgitated news and narcissistic quests of adoration, wrapped up with me sharing what post seems to be the least diluted and maybe even a bit educational […]
Digital Freedom Denied —
-= 1 =- I am 36 years old. I currently live in a small town in Northern California, but grew up in a semi-large city of just under two-hundred thousand people. I’m married and have two children. I own my own I.T. business where I support and maintain small business computer networks. I am a […]
Stardog Champion – Temple of the Dog (Mother Love Bone) – 2016/11/04 —
It is simply awesome to see Temple of the Dog play old Mother Love Bone songs on their tour. If you watch the videos here on the Seattle grunge movement and Andrew Wood’s documentary, you’ll see how important the connection is between members/friends of Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, and after Andy’s death, Temple of the […]
